I think Mcmillan is only getting started on these. I expect to see more models out there in the foreseeable future. I am pretty sure they can make them lighter as well . If only some LH models.

I noticed that online, they mention the outlander is for standard and magnum barrels. So my question is, do you have to sand down the barrel channel to fit a magnum barrel OR is the channel preset for a magnum barrel thus a standard sporter will be OK. And if it is indeed setup already for a magnum barrel, how does the standard barrel look in the channel? BIG gap or just enough to free float. Any pics please, looking to get a outlander for my SS Rem 700 .308 with 24" standard barrel.

Any pics please, looking to get a outlander for my SS Rem 700 .308 with 24" standard barrel. I am also considering this option. I just picked up a 700 SS adl 308 that I'm beginning to tweak and upgrade components. I found this article which has good pics of a standard sporter barrel in the greyboe outlander (factory rem awr in 30-06). It appears that the stock is set up for magnum contour and will accept a sporter with a significant gap. The authors conclusion was this stock is not a good fit, among other issues with his rifle... http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/20...-700-american-wilderness-rifle-in-30-06/

I guess nobody has a Grayboe outlander with a standard stock barrel. All the Grayboe stock that I have saw show bull barrel. I'm just wanting to see a pic of a standard barrel in the outlander barrel channel to see the gap.

Well, straight from the horses mouth:
Yes it is possible. I don’t think it’ll happen at least until later in 2019 at the earliest. If we do begin to offer stocks in that configuration, we will definitely announce it on our website and social media pages.

Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

I'm just wanting to see a pic of a standard barrel in the outlander barrel channel to see the gap. Standard SPS barrel. Originally a .270 now a .338-06. Pretty significant gap as you can see. Definitely free floating. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/galleries/12985702#Post12985702

I've had BC, HS, McMillan, Winlite, Tupperware, and Walnut on this particular M70. Hogged out Winlite mighta been my favorite. Hated the McMillan Hunter. I'll wait to try the Grayboe over another BC.
Sadly it shoots like a mofo in Tupperware.

Is that a sporter in a Varmint channel? Or a sporter in a sporter channel? They only make the sporter channel with the BDL bottom metal, which is a mistake in my opinion. They should make sporter and M5 together. They

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. I would have thought that "standard and magnum " contours meant that it will fit a standard, but there is enough meat to sand and allow a magnum barrel to fit. For a standard barrel can't put back material that isn't there to get a good fit. That gap does look pretty significant. The gap looks very similiar to when I put my sporter in my hs precision barrel for my AAC-SD just to see how it fit. Gap was way to big. This isn't as bad, but close.

I have 3 outlanders. Absolutely love them. Fit and finish on all of mine is superb...really didn't need glass bedding but got it anyways. They are a touch on the heavy side but sold as God damned rock. I should note they are pillar bedded from the factory.
2 are on standard 270s, while one is on a factory 7mm rem mag. Barrel channel looks fine on all of them. Id put them up against anything on the market if weight isn't a factor. There is a weird obsession on this forum with rifle weight. All of my personal guns come in at around 8.5 lbs all up and thats how I like them. A good combination of shoot-ability and portability...but i suppose rifle weight is a personal thing.

Are the 270's standard barrels? If so, could you shoot some pics of the barrel channel and such.

They finally email me back. So for those with standard barrels or for those with larger.
Hi Stephen,
The Outlander has about .060” of float on each side of the barrel with the standard sporter contour installed. The Outlander can me inlet up to a #5, this means that the a #5 won't drop directly in, it will have to opened up to fit that barrel channel and no larger barrel channel than a #5 will fit even if the channel is opened up. Does this help?
